I was lucky this summer as I got some CHURCHWARDENS: Margaret Bruce (699782), very welcome time away sailing around the East Coast - days of Tony Ripton 07799 690559 swimming off the boat, relaxing as we watched other water traffic, Email: [email protected], sleeping in the stillness of balmy summer nights.

When it does its thing, the Great British Summer is hard to beat SUNDAY SERVICES : isn’t it. But now we’re into the new season of Autumn and soon 8.00am Holy Communion (Prayer Book) enough it will be Winter again. But not like last year. 1st 10.45am Celebrating Together So often we hear the phrase uttered about ‘getting back to 2nd 10.45am Parish Eucharist normal’. I’ve wondered a bit about this. Is it a nostalgic thing to go 6.00pm Christians Together 3rd 9.30am All Age Worship back to the past when we knew what was happening and what 11.00am Matins was coming? Life seemed more settled then, and predictable. I 4th 10.45am Parish Eucharist with Healing Ministry think we all understand that predictability helps life feel more 5th 10.45am Parish Eucharist settled. And now that it’s not predictable we feel unsettled. That can affect our human nature in ways that may be invisible to start The Sunday services are at 10.00am online in lockdown. with but then can begin to manifest through heightened anxiety, stress, tiredness, higher intakes of alcohol, etc. BAPTISM AND MARRIAGE I wonder about that nostalgic look at life in comparison to an Preliminary arrangements should be made through the Parish aspirational look at life. I mean, instead of looking backwards at life Office by calling in or telephoning (422846 Tuesday-Friday 10.00am as it was, what do we think about looking ahead at life as it could -12 noon) be? There was a lot we got wrong before Covid, and why would we want to go back to those things, just because they’re familiar and PASTORAL VISITS AND HOME COMMUNION predictable? Requests for sick or hospital visits, or to receive Holy Communion Apparently, Einstein once said that the problems of the world at home, may be made by contacting our Pastoral Assistant Hazel cannot be solved by the people who made those problems. So, Kempton (email: [email protected]) or by phoning the other people are needed who see things differently. I think that Parish Office (422846). makes sense. So, what if we asked children what to do about the 4 future? Jesus said that unless we become as children, we’ll never ALL SAINTS CALENDAR see the Kingdom of God. He placed the value of children and their The following is a list of services that will operate only if Covid ability to see things differently far higher than the culture of His day restrictions are lifted at the beginning of December. Otherwise, the did. What if, as older people, we created space for our children church will remain closed and all services will be on YouTube. to take an aspirational look at life that comes up with things we would never have thought of? Our village school is just such an DECEMBER aspirational place that encourages our children to develop and 6th Second Sunday of Advent (1st) grow in a caring and challenging environment. It’s a place where 10.00am Parish Eucharist the future is nurtured and given space and encouragement by 13th Third Sunday of Advent (2nd) valuing our children for simply being. It encourages them to live 10.00am Parish Eucharist beyond themselves and for the good of others. What if we became 20th Fourth Sunday of Advent (3rd) like children for a year, and simply asked more ‘WHY’ questions? 10.00am Parish Eucharist Things would change again, wouldn’t they? And maybe therein lies 24th Christmas Eve the problem - the uncomfortable nature of change. Can we cope 11.30pm Midnight Eucharist with it? Covid is forcing us to. Climate change is forcing us to. 25th Christmas Day And just to finish off with, things in church are changing too. 10.00am Family Eucharist It will be no surprise to you that we can’t do church in the same 27th First Sunday of Christmas (4th) ways as the past. Our usual Christmas services will not be like 10.00am Service of the Word they’ve been in previous years because of Covid, and that’s a real Due to Covid restrictions, numbers in church are greatly reduced sadness to us as we loved to share the joy of Christmas with our and we are sorry we cannot hold the normal Carols and Crib village. So, no Christingle, or crib or traditional carol services this services. And we only have space for 35 people to attend the year. Please keep an eye out for further communications as to what traditional Midnight Eucharist service on Christmas Eve.

These areas have their own objectives and standards. Article 4 of the Water Framework Directive requires Member States to achieve compliance with the standards and objectives set for each protected area by 22 December 2015, unless otherwise specified in the Community legislation under which the protected area was established. Some areas may require special protection under more than one EC Directive or may have additional (surface water and/or groundwater) objectives. In these cases, all the objectives and standards must be met. Article 6 requires Member States to establish a register of protected areas. The types of protected areas that must be included in the register are: • areas designated for the abstraction of water for human consumption (Drinking Water Protected Areas); • areas designated for the protection of economically significant aquatic species (Freshwater Fish and Shellfish); • bodies of water designated as recreational waters, including areas designated as Bathing Waters; • nutrient-sensitive areas, including areas identified as Nitrate Vulnerable Zones under the Nitrates Directive or areas designated as sensitive under Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD); • areas designated for the protection of habitats or species where the maintenance or improvement of the status of water is an important factor in their protection including 1 relevant Natura 2000 sites.

FOREWORD Gass Established in 1989 the National Rivers Authority has as its role the "Guardians of the Water Environment". As such it is committed to protecting and improving the water environment in its broadest sense. Establishing a sound planning base for the development of river catchments is essential to good future management. Integrated Catchment Management Planning will play an increasingly important role in the NRA’s management of the water environment. Demands upon catchments are many and varied, and conflicts require careful consideration. The enhancement of the water environment is one of the main aims of consultation with individuals and organisations having an interest in the catchment. This report examines the Rivers Blackwater, Pant, Colne, Chelmer, Wid, Can, Holland Brook, Asheldham Brook, their tributaries, their catchments and their offshore tidal waters. The Blackwater Catchment contains the NRA’s newest tidal flood defence barrier which is on the Colne Estuary below Colchester. Also within the area of this Plan are some of the country's most important saltmarsh and mudflat environments which support internationally important wildfowl populations. The dry nature of this catchment, together with its high water demand, make water resource requirements a high priority.
  • Bradwell B Consultation Response – Rettendon Parish Council

    Bradwell B Consultation Response – Rettendon Parish Council

    Bradwell B Consultation Response – Rettendon Parish Council Question 1. Certain Councillors would prefer to see an alternative power source utilised such as tidal, wind and solar energy. There was a move, which had been due to become law, to fit solar panels on all new house builds. If this were done the amount of power required would be reduced as each house could provide most of its own electricity. A large number of Councillors also believe that the storage of nuclear waste on-site is the worst possible legacy we can leave to future generations. The A132 from Rettendon Turnpike to South Woodham and beyond cannot cope with the large amount of constuction traffic proposed as, in particular it suffers from subsidence between Rettendon Turnpike and South Woodham Ferrers. In addition, there are to be 1,000 new homes built in the area of South Woodham Ferrers during the same time frame as this construction, creating even greater disruption. There are also other developments in the area which are being considered which would impact on the same roads. These new developments do not appear to have been allowed for in the current plan. There will be chaos when an accident occurs on any of the roads. The other roads in the area will have to take the extra traffic, and since there has been no consideration about these roads and the upgrading of any of them, they will be overwhelmed. The surrounding roads in the area will become rat runs. Some of these roads are small, sometimes single-track roads, with few passing places and no pavements.
